RE: Once you get rid of the output transformer

FMA?? Sorry, don't follow you.

BTW, I went to hear the Devialet 200 on a pair of Wilson Sasha W/P2s today. The speakers are 40K and the amp 7k. How was the sound?? Tight, clean and smooth but quite dry overall with overly damped sound decay and over damped bass. Not a terribly musical sound but listenable. I would bet that any good hybrid, PP triode amp or SET will make a much more interesting listen.

We also tried the Devialet 120 on a pair of the new Wilson Sabrinas. It was significantly less dynamic sounding than the Sasha and overall less interesting. I was disappointed with the overall sound for 20K speakers.

In the end it didn't change my opinion on the Class D sound. Sure they are more refined than many other Class D I have heard, I guess that is the influence of the small Class A amp helping out...however, it doesn't get there finally.
